Chapter 54

It was eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, and Grandma Gu had been turning round and round in the living room restlessly for almost an hour.

Her ‘little son’, who had agreed to rush back from B City last night, was not at home, and his phone had been turned off. And her eldest son, who had always had a regular schedule, had not gotten up yet. In addition, since yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, the housekeeper, Sister Wang, went home for a reunion. So the old lady did not even have anyone she could talk to.

She took another turn in the nearly 100 square meter living room, looked at the time on the grandfather clock, and finally couldn't help knocking on the door of her eldest son's bedroom.

Grandma Gu vaguely heard some movement inside from where she stood facing the door, but the sound disappeared when she knocked on the door. After a while, her eldest son opened the door wearing a loose robe, but as he came out, he closed the door backhanded.

"Did you know that your little brother didn't come home last night? There’s no one in his room, and his mobile phone was always off when I called." The old lady grabbed her eldest son's hand anxiously, "Didn't you arrange for someone to pick him up? Quickly contact him to check if something happened!"

And her eldest son, who had always been reliable in handling affairs, really lived up to her trust. He held the old lady with a smile and calmly replied with a hint of helplessness, "Mom, don't worry. Zeyi went home last night. But after he came back, we went to drink some wine. He drank too much and kept vomiting, so I brought him to my room to take care of him."

"You... How did you act as a big brother? Your brother just got back from B City, and you got him drunk." Hearing what the eldest son said, Grandma Gu was immediately reassured. She complained once good-naturedly, but she actually felt happy and relieved, "Then...then did you two brothers start talking about it? You and Zeyi had such a good relationship when you’re children, but it ended up being like that afterwards…. Your brother wasn’t in good health when he was a child, you as the older brother should give him more slack..."

"Mom..." The ‘older brother’ interrupted the old lady somewhat helplessly, "I’ll give him more slack in the future. I’ll also dote on him and love him dearly, okay?"

Grandma Gu nodded in pleasure, smiling from ear to ear, "I'll make breakfast first, and then I'll prepare something for Zeyi to eat later. He must be hungry when he wakes up."

"It's best to make it light for him. He’s just finished vomiting and can't eat spicy food." After her eldest son informed her, he went back to his room to ‘take care of his younger brother’.

The moment the bedroom door was closed, the considerate and sensible eldest son in front of the old lady put down his mask of a good ‘older brother’.

Gu Zecheng glanced at the person on the bed who was covering his head with the quilt and laughed, "I told your grandma that I got you drunk after you came home, and I 'took care' of you last night."

A somewhat hoarse voice came out from under the quilt, "Take care of the hammer!"

Gu Zecheng walked to the bedside, reached out to tear off the quilt covering Lin Zixi's head, and spoke ambiguously in his ear, "Could it be that Daddy's 'hammer' didn’t take good care of you last night?"

As he spoke, he also stretched his hand into the quilt and touched Lin Zixi's body part that he had focused on ‘taking care of’ last night.

That part, due to overuse, was so red and swollen it was unable to completely close, and white turbid liquid was continuously flowing out of it.

Lin Zixi, a young idol who rarely made vulgar remarks for the sake of his image, could not beat his rogue old father, who spent five years in the special forces camp and more than ten years navigating the business world, and immediately conceded in fear, "Okay, okay, Daddy's 'hammer' was great and also took good care of me."

"You’re tactful enough." Gu Zecheng smiled and patted his son's buttocks, "It’s your grandma who saved you... I'll take a shower and go accompany her. You just have a good sleep."

"I also want to wash myself..." Lin Zixi stretched out his hands to his dad, signaling the other party to carry him to the bathroom.

However, Dad Gu raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure that you and I taking a shower together is taking a shower?"

Thus, someone who received the hint immediately withdrew his previous remark obediently and directly went to sleep.

After running around all day and being forced to exercise at night, Lin Zixi was indeed tired. Although his little belly was still slightly bulging from being filled with semen, he soon fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Young actor Lin slept soundly, and he did not know that so many people on the Internet were not going to sleep tonight.

For example, the fans of LianXi Fufu CP, which had just been upgraded to ‘officially approved national CP’, after going through the fanwar of Chinese New Year's Eve Gala.

Last night, the forces of this number one evil cult in the entertainment circle, whether those who had been shipping for a long time or just gotten into the ship, had not had time to revel for long before they were doused with cold water. The hot searches were removed, and the marketing accounts deleted related Weibos. 

Of course, in the field of hope that was the Internet, the hungry masses cried piteously for food everywhere at the creators of Photoshopped pictures, fanfictions, and MVs, but this blow was basically nothing in front of the really popular CP.

However, at ten o'clock in the morning, when ‘LianXi Fufu’ became ‘according to relevant laws, regulations, and policies, some search results are not displayed’, even the calm and collected LianXi fans exploded.

To be honest, it was not that LianXi fans had never experienced a targeted crack down.

Last time, after someone strayed into a ‘driving a car’ video, the network wiped out all the sexually explicit fanworks, but there was no follow-up movement after that. LianXi CP fans and their various resources naturally managed to slowly recover.

It was definitely different this time. Although the fanfictions and MVs had not been deleted, the search results were blocked on all platforms. No matter on which circle this took place, it could be regarded as a heavy blow.

Generally speaking, this kind of blocking method was the responsibility of the state. However, firstly, ‘LianXi Fufu’ had just duetted at the national TV’s Chinese New Year's Eve Gala, and secondly, other male and male CPs excluding LianXi were unscathed this time….

Thus, LianXi Fufu logically laid the blame on ‘LianXi antis’ and the major platforms.

"This is because you’re afraid after seeing our Lianyi and Zixi at the Chinese New Year's Eve Gala going viral, right? [Jealousy makes you look disgusting.jpg]"

"I’ve seen stars hindered from gaining popularity, but I’ve never seen CPs hindered from gaining popularity. I really gained knowledge and experience. [What the fuck is this shit.jpg]"

"Collecting money on the Chinese New Year. These websites are really good. [Goodbye, I won’t see you again.jpg]

“DY actually hasn’t blocked LianXi. I’ll never bash DY again!"

For a time, the screen of every social media was filled with this kind of comments and various sizes of essays, and there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of forwarded comments at every turn.

Even the official blogs and customer service of these platforms were inundated with all kinds of complaints, making them not know what to do and shiver with cold.

In the end, there was a platform that could not bear it anymore. Its customer service sister cryptically expressed in her private message reply: The one who asked to block you this morning was the same person who deleted you last time. You can't afford to offend them, so don't ask.

As a result, LianXi fans naturally placed the blame on Mu Zhongran and ‘YiRan (Qiu Lianyi x Mu Zhongran)’ CP just like last time.

However, unlike last time, Lin Zixi's pure fans did not get involved in this war between CP fans.

Because they had their own battlefield.

TL's note: When Lin Zixi said, "Take care of the hammer!", the hammer here has the same meaning as the interjection "my ass!". I translated it literally because the word hammer is used as a pun in the next paragraph.
